BTG scammed me into trusting MyBTGwallet to reclaim my BTG and they have now stolen my coins! Beware people

Really sloppy on BTG side, but they aren't the ones scamming. The team is well intentioned IMO, just understaffed, bad communicators, and under-resourced. There has been a litany of attacks to try to kill the BTG project. I think best to stay away until the dust settles. There will be opportunity to claim into legit wallets (heard Trezor is working on support) soon.

I agree. I think Bitcoin Cash taught us to be patient, but Bitcoin Gold proved that a fork isn't as simple as some people would be led to believe. Now I don't think they are outright scammers, but they definitely aren't saints. They had a plan to make money (I mean, the premine is as clear as it gets) and they've done it. I do think maybe one or two had the ideology, but the rest are no different from the typical money grabbing mindset we've come to see with miners.

Stay away from now, yes. Let the drama settle, let angry people simmer. It's probably got a long shelf life, BTG.
